Additionally, Halle Library has reciprocal agreements with other academic libraries in the state, including our borrowing agreement with the University of Michigan, which includes the Taubman Health Science Library.

This service allows for a portion of a book in any of the library's collections (except Archives) to be digitized (one chapter or 10% due to Fair Use of copyright law), or a scan of an article available in print or microfilm in the library.
